Tokyo, 1 week later

Danger enters the apartment. Inside he finds Dart, Downfall and Sparrow eating

"It's time"

"Time for what?"

"Me and Dart have a meeting to attend. You two stay here"

"Why?"

"The Yakuza invited only us. Also, we don't have the best of relationships"

"Fine"

Danger opens a bag and wears a bulletproof vest under his shirt. Dart does the same. They both grab their guns and get out. They enter a racing car

"This is too dangerous"

"I know. That's why I came prepared"

"What's that?"

"The firework detonator"

"Same old Danger. Booby-trapping buildings since 2007"

"That's why I didn't bring Sparrow or Downfall"

"You have a point"

They arrive at the meeting point. They get inside. 4 figures can be seen in the dimly lit room. 2 bodyguards, Danger's contact and...

"My sister..."

"Fuck"

"Well, well, well. I thought you died, brother"

"Unlike my father, no"

"Can we stop arguing? We are here for another reason"

"Yes. Halcyon is going to fall, we know. What do you want from us?"

"There are 5 Halcyon facilities in Japan. What we want from you is to storm them"

"In exchange for what?"

"New business opportunities. Halcyon is controlling 40% of the underworld. Once it is gone, that part is up for grabs"

"That doesn't sound enough. How about some favours?"

"Like what?"

"I'll let you choose. Either assassination or illegal racing"

Danger looks at her, then Dart, then laughs

"What's so funny?"

"You have fallen so badly, you want me to join a street race. Damn, this is not the Yakuza I remembered"

"Shut up or..."

"Or what?"

"..."

"As I thought. Now, I need a car"

"Why?"

"You said that I can pay in illegal races"

"...There in one in the back"

"Thank you"

Danger and Dart get to the car and leave

"So what's the plan now?"

"Well, I still think I am a god when it comes to driving"

"I forgot you sometimes are a megalomaniac"

"Hah. Now, let's get home. Thank god nothing bad happened"

"Indeed"

They get home. Danger quietly opens the door

"They must be sleeping"

"You should join them"

"Fuck off"
